Salted in-shell pistachios with pale, white-dusted split shells in a wooden bowl wrapped in jute twine with the engraved Alkhani seal

Salted pistachios in shell

Also called فستق حلبي مملّح بقشره

Pale, salt-dusted shells, split at the tip

About this product

Salted pistachios in their shells. The shells are pale beige with a hint of pink, under a matte white film like powder that gives the whole bowl its light look. Most are split at the tip, showing the kernel in its thin red skin, and the nuts are broad, plump and fairly even.

Taste

Put one in your mouth and the salt on the shell reaches you before the nut, then the rich pistachio follows. Plenty of people suck the shell for a moment before dropping it, because that is where the salt sits.

How to enjoy it

Salted pistachios call for something to drink alongside, tea or something cold, and they suit evenings, match nights and balcony sitting. For a two-tone bowl, set them beside the brown roasted pistachios in shell.

How to store it

Keep it in a closed tin somewhere dry; the salt on the shells draws moisture from the air and turns them soft and tacky, and a few minutes in a low oven dries them out again.
